Da Nang promotes investment opportunities at Singapore forum
The conversation delved into the development model for Da Nang's Regional Financial Center, emphasizing its strategic advantages, key focus areas, and supportive policies
Central Da Nang city hosted the Da Nang Investment Forum 2025 in Singapore on March 3 to highlight its potential and investment opportunities in transformative projects, including the Regional Financial Center, the Free Trade Zone, and the Lien Chieu International Seaport, according to a report from Radio the Voice of Vietnam.
The event also served as a platform for gathering insights and recommendations from investors and businesses to ensure the successful realization of these ambitious initiatives.
In his address, Mr. Nguyen Van Quang, Secretary of the Da Nang Party Committee, told attendees that by 2030, with a vision towards 2045, Da Nang will become a green, smart city—a hub for science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation, not only for Vietnam but for the Asian region.
The proposed development models, such as the Regional Financial Center, the Free Trade Zone, and the Lien Chieu Seaport, are envisioned as key drivers of growth. These initiatives aim to position Vietnam's central city as a major center for international trade, services, and technology, fostering socio-economic development across the Central Highlands region and Vietnam as a whole. Furthermore, Da Nang aspires to become a vital link connecting the East-West Economic Corridor, the Asia-Pacific region, and the global economy.
During the forum's discussion session, Dr. Chua Hak Bin, an economist and Macro Research Regional Co-Head at Maybank, joined Mr. Quang in an engaging dialogue with businesses and investors.
The conversation delved into the development model for Da Nang's Regional Financial Center, emphasizing its strategic advantages, key focus areas, and supportive policies. Topics included capital control and exchange rate mechanisms, dispute resolution frameworks, tax incentives, and more.
The Regional Financial Center is set to prioritize international finance, including trade and green finance, alongside innovation in financial technology. Plans also include establishing a commodity exchange for agricultural products, minerals, and metals, as well as providing investment support services and fostering enterprise development.
